THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE RAPE KIT, A TRUE CRIME STORY written and read by Pagan Kennedy

Pagan Kennedy writes and reads THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE RAPE KIT, A TRUE CRIME STORY. Kennedy briefly places listeners and readers in a personal context stating that she, herself, faced early sexual abuses and wondering why so many people escape prosecution. Viewing the simplicity and effectiveness of the rape kit, Kennedy wants to know who could have invented such a thing. Her investigation sets her on a path to meet its creator Marty Goddard, a woman not typically given credit for this invention. Kennedy’s narration often takes on an ironic, sarcastic tone as well it should when she learns how Goddard developed the idea and a man stepped in to take credit for her work. This memoir is part investigative journey to discover the whereabouts of Goddard, part tribute to the woman deserved praise and revealing the male-dominated history that has made women’s justice all the more difficult.  You can find out more about this book and the audio in the purchase link below.
